Special Relationship 2.0?
No! No new 'special relationship' between the US and Israel. NO. We aren't having it! And get rid of the old 'special relationship'!
We shouldn't be fooled by Netanyahu supposedly calling for an end to US aid to Israel. It's just a bait and switch, as this article on our new special relationship points out. Instead of the huge amount of money the US sends to Israel, TPTB will do this:
What emerges is a plan to continue aid to Israel in a different form. Instead of sending money to Israel, which they have to spend with American corporations, Congress would appropriate money for joint development and production projects instead. This can be presented as an investment in American jobs in partnership with Israel rather than as taxpayer assistance to a foreign government.
Gah! The US's and Israel's actions make me wanna puke at times...

Good morning everybody.
Spent the last four days downing trees, cutting and splitting them up, and burning the slash.
Rained pretty good Monday, but needed to water the corn and onions we just planted.
Will be driving back to suburbia this morning, so will catch up to you guys, and the world news, when I get there.
US resumes bombing Iran
Submitted by QMS on Tue, 05/26/2026 - 5:43amThe fools in DC are following the Israel playbook
by bombing during a 'ceasefire'. The military blew-up
2 fast boats in the Gulf of Oman, killing 4 Iranian sailors.
They didn't stop there. They sent missiles ashore into
coastal targets. These missions are being announced as
'defensive' in nature. Expect Iran to send retaliatory strikes
towards US ships with their recently acquired Chinese munitions.

I'm at the Florida Folk Festival this weekend, and so I don't have my usual geopolitical news review. I've written here about the festival, so today I thought I might discuss the sources of news I try to review every week to put together the WW after showing a brief clip about the festival.
